After a bit of deliberation I am posting this question on ports as I
belive that is more appropriate than misc.

I am not trained in scientific computing but these days I find myself
more and more doing some of that stuff as a part of my day job. As
MATLAB doesn't run on OpenBSD I tend to use Python whenever possible
i.e.

numpy
scipy
matplotlib
ipython

Untill recently I assumed that I should run Python2.7 as some of the
above libraries might not work well on 3.3. In part this confusion is
due to the fact that Enthought Python which we use on Linux is based on
2.7 branch.

However, after a bit of investigation I belive that I am wrong and that
the above libraries work perfectly well on 3.3. There are many reasons
why I prefer 3.3. over 2.7 branch. 

Today for the first time I checked Makefiles for above libraries looking
for 3.2 flavor. I do not see that such thing exists. When running Python
(3.2 on this computer) shell and trying to import numpy for example 
give the error as the numpy is stored in

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy

Is anybody using numpy on 3.2? Does numpy and above ports need to be
build specifically to run on 3.3 (awaiting for that 3.3.1 patch)? 
Could anybody educate me little bit about these issues?

Most Kind Regards,
Predrag
